Chapter 156

At this moment inside Whitman Manor.

Jeremy sat next to the bed lazily. He was holding his phone while watching a video that was going viral.

In the video, Meredith’s menacing behavior made her lose her good reputation. All of a sudden, he was starting to wonder if this was the little girl he met when he was younger, Linnie.

He did not think much of it, but his eyes eventually landed on Madeline.

His heart started beating faster.

Those features looked just like hers.

However, despite looking similar, it was still a fact that Madeline had left him forever.

As Jeremy pondered, Madeline’s sweet face appeared in his mind. His heart started aching uncontrollably again…

Maddie…

“Jeremy, are you asleep?” Someone knocked on the door, and in the next moment, Meredith’s voice came from outside. “Jeremy, I think you saw the video, right? I’m being maliciously slandered. Can you accompany and comfort me?”

“Plus, the shop at the plaza in the city center is going to be up for auction soon. You promised that you’ll buy it for my birthday present. Do you still remember that, Jeremy?”

Her soft voice sounded from outside the door as she waited for Jeremy’s reply. However, after a while, Jeremy’s mother pulled her away quickly and lectured her.

“You know that Jeremy hasn’t been able to get any decent sleep for the past three years. Don’t disturb him now that he’s finally fallen asleep.”

Meredith was already feeling miserable. Now, she was feeling even worse. “Didn’t Jeremy’s father buy some special aromatherapy kit from overseas to soothe Jeremy’s nerves? His sleep has already improved a lot!”

“That’s not a reason to disturb him!” Even though Jeremy’s mother was fond of Meredith, her son was more important.

Meredith clenched her fist as a fire of rage burned in her chest. However, she could not release her anger. “Madeline is the one who caused him to suffer from insomnia!” She pushed all of the blame onto Madeline.

“That woman did so many evil things. It’s karma that she’s dead!” Jeremy’s mother cursed as well.

Then, she looked at Meredith. “I have to remind you not to disturb Jeremy when he’s asleep. There’s finally some progress but you’re here making a fuss. Plus, the aromatherapy kit from that perfumer is hard to get.”

Meredith scoffed in disdain. “Mrs. Whitman, don’t be fooled. How would there be such amazing perfumers in the world? It’s just a hoax. The reason Jeremy’s sleep has improved is all because of me.”

Jeremy’s mother peered at Meredith. “That perfumer is the rising star of the industry. If it’s fake, how can Jeremy sleep so soundly during this period?”

When Meredith heard this, she was even more pissed.

What perfumer? How could there be such people in the world?

She called someone to investigate this. After she got news about this, she found out that this perfumer, Nell, had gotten very popular in the past two years. Plus, the aromatherapy kit Nell created was indeed very efficient.

Meredith had an evil thought in her head. It had been so many years and she used all kinds of ways to try to get Jeremy to sleep with her but failed. It was time she invested in something like this.

If she got pregnant ‘again’, then it would only be expected that Jeremy would marry her!

She asked someone to contact the mysterious rising star in the industry, Nell.

When she saw that Nell had accepted her order, Meredith transferred a lot of money over in a showy manner. Plus, she even ordered Nell to give her the finished product in three days.

Meredith had made up her mind and already chosen a time. After the auction, she would use the aromatherapy kit to take down Jeremy.
